Preparing for members who may be facing a financial cliff when government assistance ends

22 October 2020

TO: High Councilors, Elders Quorum Presidencies and Bishoprics

Brethren,

As you've heard by now from your assigned high councilor, Church leaders are very concerned that there may be many members who may soon face a financial crisis when unemployment benefits or moratoriums on mortgage, rent or health insurance end.

We appreciate elders quorum presidencies—and Relief Society presidencies, if you choose to invite them to assist—to begin discreetly surveying those in your ward or branch and identify any who may soon face a financial cliff when government assistance stops. 

Furthermore, we encourage you to counsel together on ideas to help those facing a crisis to draft a proactive plan of action.

This article may be helpful in identifying options, along with family resources and Church assistance.

We hope this is helpful,

President Lewis and the Stake Presidency
